This resource covers all Weeks 1-4 topics including: Respiratory Disorders (pneumothorax - P-THORAX mnemonic: Pleuritic pain, Tracheal deviation opposite side, Hyperresonance, Onset sudden, Reduced breath sounds, Absent fremitus, X-ray findings; chest tube insertion at 4th/5th intercostal space midclavicular line; Type 1 respiratory failure = hypoxia without hypercapnia; Type 2 respiratory failure = hypoxia with hypercapnia; exudative pleural effusion criteria - pleural/serum protein ratio 0.5, pleural/serum LDH ratio 0.6, pleural LDH 2/3 serum LDH) ; Shock States (hypovolemic shock - "low tank" decreased preload; cardiogenic shock - pump failure, decreased CO, increased SVR, causes include MI, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy; obstructive shock - cardiac tamponade, massive PE, tension pneumothorax; distributive shock - sepsis, anaphylaxis, neurogenic, characterized by warm/dry skin and decreased SVR; compensated vs decompensated vs refractory shock stages) ; Preoperative Evaluation (ASA classification 1-6, RCRI risk factors, surgical stepwise approach, active cardiac conditions requiring evaluation, stent waiting period 4-6 weeks, pulmonary optimization, POSSUM scoring tool) ; Neuromuscular Disorders (GBS - ascending paralysis, areflexia, sensory changes, CSF ↑protein with normal WBC, treatment IVIG/plasmapheresis; ALS - loss of UMN/LMN, progressive, no sensory loss; Myasthenia Gravis - fluctuating weakness worse with exertion, improved with rest, ocular/bulbar signs early, preserved reflexes, acetylcholine receptor antibodies, treatment pyridostigmine, thymectomy) ; Toxicology (Tylenol overdose - activated charcoal within 1 hour, N-acetylcysteine; beta-blocker overdose - saline, atropine, glucagon; toxic ingestion treatments - ipecac non-emergent, gastric lavage, whole bowel irrigation with osmotic laxatives, activated charcoal gold standard) ; Fluid & Electrolytes (SIADH lab findings - serum sodium 135, serum osmo 275, urine sodium 20, urine osmo 100, clinical euvolemia; vasopressin challenge differentiates central DI - urine osmo increases, from nephrogenic DI - urine osmo remains low) ; Cardiovascular (ICD indications - LVEF 35%, VT/VF, Brugada syndrome, syncope, long QT; AV fistula for long-term dialysis; pulsus paradoxus - SBP fall 10 mmHg with inspiration; cardiac tamponade gold standard diagnosis - ECHO) ; Neurology (MS diagnosis - McDonald criteria requiring MRI lesions DIT/DIS or lumbar puncture with oligoclonal bands; Parkinson's differential diagnosis - Wilson's disease, Huntington's, medication-induced, prion disease; vascular dementia risk factors - advanced age, atrial fibrillation, stroke, diabetes, smoking, obesity) ; and Endoscopy & GI (upper GI bleed management - IV access, fluids, transfusions, PPI, endoscopy; EtCO2 monitoring - normally 3-5 mmHg less than PaCO2 reflecting dead space; EtCO2 correlates with cardiac output) .
